2024 Australia Match Rifle & Long Range Championships were held at the Lower Light Rifle Range in South Australia during last week. There were some tough windy conditions causing challenges for shooters and coaches making the 2 convertible sighters, where they were part of the matches in the Teams competitions, very much appreciated!
Teams from NSW, Victoria and South Australia entered the Teams Matches with a combined team of shooters from NT, QLD & Tasmania also able to be formed. Great work by the Team from NSWRA who won the majority of the Teams Matches.
Great work from all Teams and a great practice competition for members of Australia’s Match Rifle Team who will be competing at Bisley in 2025 in the Woomera Match against Great Britain.
